5 - THE PRESSOTHERAPY The pressotherapy is a particular methodic of not invasive physiotherapy, characterized by the use of special automatic equipments which use the properties of the compression of the air on the human body Indications The pressotherapy is mainly used for the prevention and the treatment of insufficiency and venous thrombosis,lymphedemas, cellulitis and, in general, of all the troubles of the venous and lymphatic circle. The beneficent effect of this therapy allows to normalize the venous and lymphatic system and to reabsorb possible edemas Techniques of application The pressotherapy is suitable especially in the treatment of the inferior limbs and is generally applied through inflatable knapsacks which allow to compress entirely the leg. The operation of the devices consists in the alternation of inflatation and sequential deflatation of the knapsacks which produces a therapeutic compression of the inferior limbs.
